你會帶一杯冰咖啡去求職面試嗎?
這個星期在網上引發熱議的問題,和很多網絡話題一樣,最初源自一段 TikTok 影片。
美國招聘人員凱特琳·韋尼安(Caitlin Wehniainen)說:「不要拿着一杯冰咖啡,若無其事地走進面試現場。這看起來就像你之前根本沒有時間喝完咖啡。」
她說,這是她的Z世代求職者正在做的事,並警告這會令人覺得面試「只是你當天一連串跑腿辦事行程中的其中一站」。
這段帖文引發了韋尼安所稱的「2026冰咖啡大辯論」(the Great Iced Coffee Debate of 2026)。
有人認為手裏拿着一杯冰抹茶拿鐵出席面試是一大忌。他們認為這樣做不專業、太過隨便,而且會造成干擾。
也有人認為這種反應過度,反而讓人忽略了現時要找到一份工作有多困難——甚至連獲得面試機會都不容易。
韋尼安隨後在領英(LinkedIn)發文澄清,說她「從來沒有說過帶咖啡會令一個人成為糟糕的求職者」。

「我的重點只是避免造成干擾。」
28歲的哈納德(Hanad)在倫敦一家能源供應商工作。他喜歡冰咖啡,但不會帶一杯去面試。
他說:「求職面試最重要的是第一印象。任何事情都有可能令僱主不想聘用你。」
「冰咖啡是很多青少年都會喝的東西⋯⋯看起來會不成熟,而且太不正式。」
基於同樣的理由,他也不會帶能量飲品去面試。不過,他認為帶水或熱咖啡則沒有問題。
他的同事、24歲的茨韋蒂娜(Tsvetina)認為,不應該根據求職者帶什麼東西去面試,甚至也不應該根據他們的衣着打扮來評價他們。
她說:「我認為我們應該逐漸擺脫這些傳統的企業文化觀念。真正重要的是,這個人在面試期間究竟表達了什麼。」
28歲的艾莎(Aisha)則說她會帶一杯冰咖啡去。「我認為這代表我提早到了,還有時間買一杯冰咖啡。」
不過,她不會帶汽水。
總體而言,她認為很多僱主都希望在求職者身上看到個性。「這會令你在其他前來(申請)這份工作的人當中脫穎而出。」
25歲的凱蒂(Katy)在活動業擔任私人助理。她說自己不會拿着一杯冰咖啡出席求職面試。
但她認為,圍繞韋尼安帖文所引發的爭議「有一點性別歧視,因為通常都是女孩子喝冰咖啡」。
「如果是熱咖啡——這種飲品比較男性化——就不會出現這麼多討論。」
試圖找到第一份工作的年輕人正面對多重挑戰。
英國過去一年大學畢業生職位空缺數量幾乎減半,原因包括僱主削減入門級職位、轉而採用人工智能,以及應對成本上升。
16至24歲人士當中,約每8人就有1人既沒有接受教育,也沒有就業或接受培訓——這類人士被稱為NEET(Not in Education, Employment or Training)。
美國的年輕勞工同樣面對緊張的就業市場,招聘速度正在放緩。
「有一點輕率」
露西·庫珀(Lucy Cooper)是倫敦設計及品牌招聘公司 Spark 的創辦人。
她說,目前她所屬的市場營銷行業「真的非常艱難」,而她並不知道有任何Z世代求職者會冒險拿着一杯冰咖啡去面試。
她說,這可能會令人「覺得你太過放鬆,而且有一點輕率,彷彿你不夠認真;又或者看起來像是你正在面試僱主,而不是由對方來面試你」。
她說:「我認為,處於初級職位的求職者非常清楚,不應該做任何可能危及自己獲聘機會的事情。」
不過她補充說,如果是僱主主動提供咖啡,求職者接受是沒有問題的;在視像面試時喝咖啡也可以。
招聘公司 Hays 的董事丹·克拉多克(Dan Craddock)說,僱主不應該依靠「一時的判斷」。
「重要的是,不要過度解讀求職者帶到面試現場的單一物品。」
「無論是一杯冰咖啡、一瓶水還是一本筆記簿,僱主最終評估的,應該是那些能讓一個人在該職位上取得成功的技能、經驗和行為。」
